I’m so excited, I don’t know what to do with myself. I finally got up the courage to ask Amazon to make Miira [book 1 of Innerscape] permafree to match B&N, Kobo et al,… and it’s happening!

So far, I’ve checked amazon.com and amazon.com.au, and the ebook is $0.00 on both! Sadly, amazon.co.uk hasn’t gone to permafree yet, but I’m sure it’s on the way. This has literally just happened, or at least I’ve only just noticed. If anyone sees Miira going permafree somewhere else, please let me know.

It’s odd, this feels like an early Christmas present. At least now I have the hope that more people will give Innerscape a try. And to celebrate, we’re getting pizza tonight.

-thinks- I might just indulge in some Cabernet Sauvignon as well. 🙂

cheers

I am the kind of person who always has to know why things are the way they are so my interests range from genetics and biology to politics and what makes people tick.
For fun I play online mmorpgs, read, listen to a music, dance when I get the chance and landscape my rather large block.
Work is writing. When a story I am working on is going well I'm on cloud nine. On bad days I go out and dig big holes...

I haven’t actually done posts for Loleta Abi yet other than reblogs. I plan to start them in the new year. I ran two blogs for a long time, but at that time the other blog had a different name. This name clicked for me since Loleta is my middle name. It just seems right for what I plan to do with it.

I struggle with what to say in the posts all the time! I try and find something that sparks an idea. It’s going to be a challenge to do two but I’ve done it before and with more posts. I’m going to be reblogging still, cause that helps traffic. I wish I could get more responses though on my own posts. Only a few people seem to read them.

I’m not sure what other people do, but I gave myself permission /not/ to post if I wasn’t passionate about the topic. This way when I do post, it’s because I’m loving it. lol From what I’ve read, that’s not the professional way of doing a blog but at least I never burn out!

Have you thought about putting the embed link into the picture?
On the Amazon page for the book, on the far right, above the ‘read on any device’ icon, there’s a word – embed – click on that and follow the instructions to copy the url onto the picture so the reader gets the preview right here (I think it’s also auto to the local Amazon site, but don’t quote me on that!).

Just updated the post and I feel about the size of an ant. How could I forget the url? I am getting old. Thanks so much for pointing it out. Even this morning while posting the urls on Twitter, my brain just did not make the connection. -sigh-

Here’s the thing, though, A. All you have to do is have a chat about books and local authors and the store’s attitudes to local authors and how they think they should be supported. This is basic research that you do in other areas in a heartbeat.

Did I tell you that a couple of outlets have told me they’ll sell the book without charging a commission until I start to move quite a few, and then maybe only a token amount.

A loyt of these folk sem to really like having local authors in their store – it’s like a plus on their bookseller CV. Plus there are book awards for Indie publishers that only bookstores can nominate to. That could be you, ya know.

Well done. I just checked Amazon UK and no change yet but, it’s funny, there’s a book there called Miira (Japanese edition) which is free so I hope there’s not been a mistake. Good luck with this Andrea.

Congrats! I hope the perma-freedom works out for you. I read somewhere recently that it’s risky actually to ask Amazon to make a book perma-free. The recommended way was to use the “Tell us about a lower price” thing on the book’s page, and to ask others to do that too. But obviously the Zon didn’t strike you dead when you just asked.

I actually did ask on Twitter first so perhaps by the time I asked Amazon, someone else had asked as well. Whatever the reason, I’m over the moon about it. Getting readers to take a chance on an unknown is so bloomin’ hard. This may make it a bit easier. I hope. Fingers crossed. 🙂
